Micmacs

A quirky band of misfits, led by the charismatic Bazil, comes together to fight against two ruthless arms manufacturers. Bazil, a kind-hearted cinema enthusiast, is double-crossed by a powerful weapons dealer and left with nothing. He then hatches an elaborate plan with his peculiar group of friends to take down the corporations responsible for their misfortunes. Their whimsical and inventive scheme unfolds with a series of amusing Rube Goldberg-esque contraptions and disguises, all in the name of justice and good old-fashioned revenge.
